YMMV / Deadfall

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Right before he's killed, Eddie is revealed to be wearing a toupee. This was never foreshadowed at any point and aside from vanity, no reason is given for him to wear one.
• Bile Fascination: Come for that one scene of Nicolas Cage screaming "FUCK!", stay for many other scenes of Cage doing/saying similar crazy things!
• Ending Fatigue: The best character dies, and there’s still thirty minutes left.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Eddie. He's pretty much the only character worth mentioning thanks to Nicolas Cage. The film can safely be stopped after his head goes into a deep-fryer with nothing of any significance missed on the viewer's part.
• Funny Moments:
  • Eddie's ranting after surviving a hit:
    "What am I, a fucking retard, man? Am I A FUCKING RETARD, HUH? I know what this is! Lou's trying to snuff me out because of his GREASY LITTLE NEPHEW being around! WELL, VIVE LA FUCKING FRANCE, MAN! Huh-huh!"
  • One of the few that doesn't come directly from Eddie himself, but rather the licorice-eating, Huey Lewis-resembling hitman he kills outside the titty bar:
    Eddie: "Who sent ya, huh?! Who sent ya?!"
    Hitman: "SAM... FUCKIN'... PECKINPAAAH!!"
• Ham and Cheese: Nicolas Cage must have noticed how stupid the movie is the moment he read his lines. Otherwise, he wouldn't overact every scene he's in to oblivion.
• Narm: If a scene is supposed to be taken seriously and it involves Eddie, it's just gonna be a laughfest thanks to Nicolas Cage.
  Eddie: (barges in with blood on his shirt) Rraahh! Someone's try'na kill me, man!
  Diane: Who'd try to kill you, Eddie?
  Eddie: (struggling to get a clean shirt off a coathanger) The fucking hangers!
• So Bad, It's Good: The film would be just a trashy noir/comedy film that would be terrible if not for Nicolas Cage's hilarious overacting. His delicious Ham and Cheese performance is considered to be among his best performances not to be taken seriously. See here and here to see just how bad the acting is.
• Took the Bad Film Seriously: Michael Biehn. Not his best work, mind you, but he's clearly trying.
• Watch It for the Meme: This movie might as well be named "That Movie Where Nicolas Cage Screams a Drawn-Out 'FUCK!'". Either that or more generally "Nic Cage: Unleashed"; literally nothing else is worth a look in this film.
